Chi / Energy

Chi, or Qi is the Chinese term for Life Energy, a vital force that flows through all living things. In western terms, it is call Universal Life Force or Vital Life Force.

It is this Life Force Energy that gives Life to humans, animals, reptiles, plants – anything that is alive on this planet. Without this Vital Life Force coursing through us, we will be dead. All living things will be dead things.

As with all things in Nature, there are two polarities to this energy - positive energy and negative energy. When the energies are balanced, and flowing smoothly through our body, we experience general good health and well-being. When they are unbalanced, we will experience variations in our emotions. If the positive energy is stronger, we will feel peaceful, happy, blissful, excited ... If the negative energy is stronger, we will feel sad, depress, distress…

When our accupoints are block, we fall sick. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses herbs, acupuncture and massages to clear blockages and restore the smooth flow of the Chi. However, that is another topic all together…

Look around you. If you take away the Energy, or the Life Force in everything that you see, what would you be left with?
